Gas supply distribution of industrial air pumps in multi-station operations

In the multi-station operation of industrial air pumps, the gas supply distribution needs to be scientifically designed to achieve efficient and stable gas supply. Specifically, it can be approached from the following aspects:

Design of centralized gas supply system

The centralized gas supply mode is adopted, and the compressed air is uniformly delivered to each workstation through the main gas source (such as the air compressor station). The system needs to be equipped with components such as aftercoolers, gas tanks, main line filters and air dryers to ensure the stability of gas quality. The main pipeline piping should be rationally laid out to reduce pressure loss. Meanwhile, after each workstation is connected from the main pipeline piping, secondary oil-water separation and filtration should be carried out to ensure the normal operation of control and actuating components.

2. The core function of the air source distributor

The gas source distributor is a key equipment for multi-station gas supply. Its core functions include:

Multi-channel distribution: Through multiple output ports, the gas source is reasonably distributed to each workstation to ensure balanced gas volume in each branch.

Pressure regulation: Built-in pressure regulating valve, adjusting the output air pressure according to the requirements of each workstation to prevent equipment damage caused by air pressure fluctuations.

Flow control: Equipped with flow control valves to precisely control the gas flow of each branch and enhance the overall efficiency of the system.

Filtration and purification: Integrated filtration device removes impurities, moisture and oil mist from the gas, protecting downstream equipment.

3. Optimization strategies for gas supply distribution

Dynamic pressure regulation: According to the real-time demands of each workstation, the output air pressure is dynamically adjusted through the pressure regulating valve to ensure the stable operation of the equipment under an appropriate air pressure.

Flow balanced distribution: Through flow control valves or integrated flowmeters, ensure that each workstation receives an appropriate amount of compressed air, avoiding resource waste or system performance degradation.

Intelligent monitoring and protection: Some gas source distributors support remote monitoring and automatic adjustment, which can monitor the gas source status in real time and automatically adjust or alarm when abnormalities occur, enhancing the safety and reliability of the system.

4. System maintenance and servicing

Regular inspection: Conduct condition checks on key components such as valves and sensors to promptly identify and address potential issues.

Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the surface and internal pipelines of the equipment to prevent impurities and contaminants from entering and ensure the normal operation of the air source distributor.

Regular calibration: According to the usage conditions, calibrate the gas source distributor regularly to ensure the accuracy and stability of gas supply.

5. Application Scenarios and Advantages

In an automated production line, the air source distributor can provide a stable air source for multiple pneumatic devices (such as cylinders, valves, etc.), maintaining the normal operation of the equipment. Its advantages include:

Simplified layout: By distributing a single gas source to multiple output points, the complexity of pipelines is reduced and installation space is saved.

Improving efficiency: Centralized gas supply reduces losses during gas transportation and enhances work efficiency.

Enhance safety: High-quality materials and multiple safety protection measures (such as overvoltage protection, prevention of backflow, etc.) are adopted to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
